How does plants gets affected by artificial light during photosynthesis process?
Poor watering and incorrect lighting are two of the commonest causes of houseplant death. Plants respond to different aspects of light: its intensity, duration and quality. The best quality light is natural daylight and wherever possible plants should be placed close enough to a natural source of light for healthy growth. Artificial lighting can be beneficial in winter when daylength and light intensity decrease. It is used to increase daylength in winter triggering responses such as flowering. The best lights to choose are those that produce the highest light levels. Incandescent lights: Ordinary house light bulbs create large amounts of heat but little light. This tends to be high in red light which can affect photoperiodic responses but does little to increase growth. Close to the plant they can scorch the foliage. Fluorescent tubes: Fluorescent lighting is more suitable for supplementing natural light. It produces mainly blue light and some green and yellow, but is low in red light
